Energy Toolbase completes commissioning on Ventura Energy’s 3.7-Megawatt Hour Energy Storage Portfolio to Provide Emergency Water Backup for Ventura County

Energy Toolbase has completed commissioning on Ventura Energy’s five-site, 3.7-megawatt-hour (MWh) energy storage portfolio at critical water facilities throughout Ventura County. The systems of standalone energy storage are comprised of Tesla Powerpacks and Megapacks controlled byAcumen EMS™ software and enable the end-users to have a reliable water source in the case of an emergency.

An Overview of Fixed Threshold vs. Dynamic Threshold Shaving Controls

Energy Toolbase’s Acumen EMS™ dynamic control software makes a compelling case for any energy storage system, offering more benefits than its fixed control counterparts. We ran simulations on various thresholds for fixed controls and compared them with dynamic controls to demonstrate the difference in value capture between these strategies.
